Section 2 - Financial Information
Item 2.02. |
Results of Operations and Financial Condition. |
As previously announced on January 20, 2015, as a
result of the completion of its acquisition of Rockwood Holdings, Inc. (Rockwood), Albemarle Corporation (the Company) has realigned its global business units. The new structure aligns the Companys strategic assets and
businesses to be market-focused and allows it to more effectively leverage its combined resources on innovation and growth.
The new reporting structure
will consist of three reportable operating segments, or global business units (GBUs): Chemetall Surface Treatment, Refining Solutions and Performance Chemicals. Chemetall Surface Treatment will continue to supply specialty chemicals with
a focus on processes for the surface treatment of metals and plastics. Refining Solutions will consist of the Companys Heavy Oil Upgrading and Clean Fuels Technologies businesses, delivering a robust portfolio of catalyst solutions that apply
to the entire refinery process. Performance Chemicals will combine the Companys lithium, aluminum alkyls and bromine businesses. The three businesses previously announced as targets for potential divestiture will be reported together,
separately from the aforementioned GBUs.
The new reporting structure is consistent with the manner in which information is presently used
internally by the Companys chief operating decision maker to evaluate performance and make resource allocation decisions. Each GBU has a dedicated team of sales, research and development, process engineering, manufacturing and sourcing, and
business strategy personnel and has full accountability for improving execution through greater asset and market focus, agility and responsiveness.
The
Company is furnishing this Current Report on Form 8-K to reflect certain historical annual and quarterly segment information for the two year period ending December 31, 2014, on a pro forma combined basis, corresponding with the Companys
new reporting structure following the acquisition and integration of the Rockwood business. A copy of this information is being furnished as Exhibit 99.1 hereto. The changes in reporting structure discussed above affect the manner in which the
results of the Companys reportable segments were previously reported and combine the business units from Rockwood into the current structure. This Current Report on Form 8-K does not reclassify or restate the Companys previously reported
consolidated financial statements for any period. It should be noted that Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin are financial measures that are not required by, or presented in accordance with, accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States, or GAAP. These measures are presented here to provide additional useful measurements to review our operations, provide transparency to investors and enable period-to-period comparability of financial performance. A reconciliation of
these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable financial measures calculated and reported in accordance with GAAP, is included in this Current Report on Form 8-K. Additionally, the information presented in this Current Report on
Form 8-K does not reflect events occurring after the filing of the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014, and should be read in conjunction with the Companys previously filed Annual Reports on Form
10-K, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, Current Reports on Form 8-K and the Companys subsequent filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
In accordance with General Instruction B.2 of Form 8-K, the information in this Current Report on Form 8-K, including Exhibit 99.1, shall not be deemed
filed for the purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or otherwise subject to the liability of that section, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act
of 1933, as amended, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such a filing.
